Pipers Fury (Group Review)

Using your "powers" to help the Dark Hills Police Department hunt down serial killers doesn't leave much time for dating. Not that Piper Anast is complaining. The last thing she needs is some guy brushing up against her and pumping his pornographic thoughts into her head.

When she meets Bennett Slade, a sexy, tormented vampire, Piper stumbles headlong into a telepathic connection with his missing daughter. She can't leave the kid to the evil surrounding her unwanted visions, nor can she resist her draw to Slade. He's the first guy she's been able to touch vision-free in, well, forever.

As she and Slade close in on the evil creature holding his daughter, Piper's powers morph into a deadly fury. To save Slade's daughter-and herself-Piper must face down demons she never knew she had and trust the one thing she keeps from everyone.

Rachel Firasek has put together a fabulous story, full of everything I love. A heroine that would now be among one of my favorite. A sexy Vampire hero, and a great paranormal / urban fantasy story, with some suspense mixed in. It was chocked full of action, plenty of tension between the H/h and wonderful characterization. I love how well she brought out each of the characters distinct personalities, and flaws. The story was perfectly paced, and I loved every page, it grabbed me at the prologue, and swept me away. Firasek brought Piper’s first person account of the story to the pages beautifully, without feeling like I was missing something. I had a difficult time putting this down, and was disappointed only when it was over.

Piper Anast is an empath, she can see a persons memories from touching objects. She can also see other peoples thoughts and feelings by touching someone, and for this reason, she avoids touching people. After Piper’s mother died when she was around 8 yrs old, she was raised by her mother’s best friend Mabel. Now at 24, she works with the Dark Hills police department to help with missing person’s and murder investigations using her empath abilities. She doesn’t date, well because you know how men’s minds work, and she can see all of sexual thoughts, and fantasies going on in their heads. I loved Piper so much, she strong, stubborn and has qualities that make her unique to her character, but I also see in her vulnerability, and I think she projects a lot of her cynicism as self preservation.

Piper’s life is about to change forever, and with it, her empath abilities start to change and grow stronger. There is a serial killer in town, and Piper has been brought in to help with the investigation that has no leads. This case and the appearance of the sexy Bennett Slade are about to turn Piper’s world upside down. Piper has spent most of her life without touch because of her empath abilities, and when Slade comes into the picture she’s awestruck because this is the first man that she hasn’t gotten the sexual images from. When she touches him she senses nothing evil about him either. But Piper doesn’t really know how to handle all of this. Slade wants Piper to help him find his missing daughter that disappeared 5 years ago, the day his wife was murdered. These events set in motion a lot of self discovery for Piper.

I don’t want to give away too much of the story, I have left out a lot of details intentionally. I went into this knowing very little about it and enjoyed it so much, I can’t express that enough. I recommend this highly to anyone who likes a great PNR / UF, and enjoys a terrific heroine.

I can’t wait for the next book, and I hope Firasek doesn’t keep me waiting too long. This book definitely goes on my “favorites” shelf.

5+ Stars Great start to a new series!

The novel itself is very fast paced,and enthralling.You are guaranteed to be addicted!

For a PNR it marked it's spot on my "favorite shelf" It was what I needed to beat my paranormal craving. *Screams, Bite Me Slade* Just in case you're wondering, Slade is the Sexy Vampire that makes me think "Could I compare him to Bones?(from:The Night Huntress series) My Answer; O Hell Yeah!! Bite me wherever you please!! LOL! Sorry,I'm getting carried away here. Back to my point.This book is a must-read, the Heroine will make you waddle with excitement. Piper is a handful,but such a loveable character. I loved every other character in the book as well(except the villan and his posse of course =P). The story plot was feisty with a bundle of action. It had enough twist and turns to make my heart skip a beat.Once I was done reading it,I just wanted to be able to pick up the next book and read it.It was just that good!

You want a quick paranormal novel and be satisfied? Pick this novel up and take your chances.You'll Love it!
